The author Kolja Reichert (art critic and program curator with a focus on discourse at the Bundeskunsthalle Bonn) reads from his book “Kann ich das auch? 50 Questions for Art”.
What is art about? Why is it so expensive? And: Why do we need art? The curator and art critic Kolja Reichert has written a book that explains art – comprehensibly, humorously and surprisingly. His 50 questions to art address claims, false expectations, approaches and also misunderstandings.

“I, Hermann Stenner”
A presentation by Dr. Tanja Pirsig-Marshall, Vice. Director and Head of the Exhibitions, Collection and Research Department at the LWL Museum of Art and Culture in Münster.

While the works of the Westphalian Expressionists are characterized by heightened expressivity, the Bielefeld artist Hermann Stenner (1891-1914) makes self-questioning a game, especially in his self-portraits. The lecture examines Stenner’s significance for Expressionism in Westphalia.

We are curious: On this tour, we let the AI explain the art to us. What do you think will come of it? Using the generated texts, we talk about how AI works and discuss what it can mean for us.

Feel like meeting new people and sharing art over drinks? Then you’ve come to the right place for our “Blind Date with Art”! In the eighth edition of our exhibition series “facing each other”, two works meet that focus on the viewer’s expectations: Katrin Mayer’s “Screens” (2014) and Christo’s “Package” (1963). What do we see, what do we not see? After a short introduction to both artworks, we invite you to Café Tartes und Törtchen for a lively exchange with changing interlocutors. You can compare your perspectives on art and get to know your counterpart better in a short time.

Screens. The textile walls of the Bielefeld Kunsthalle
A lecture by Katrin Mayer, artist from Berlin

The presentation “miteinander gegenüber # 8” will feature the site-specific work “Screens” (2014) by Katrin Mayer, which refers to the Kunsthalle’s former textile wall coverings and is juxtaposed with Christo’s “Package” (1963). Mayer’s work examines the history of the Kunsthalle and the mostly unmentioned influence that Bauhaus weaver Anni Albers had on the numerous textile elements in Philip Johnson’s architectures.

Danceperformance with Noriko Nishidate (Tanz Theater Braunschweig) and Carla Bonsoms i Barra (TANZ Bielefeld)

The expressive, the gesture and the inclusion of the whole body become part of the process of creating a work of art in gestural abstraction. Many of the artists were inspired by dance and performative arts. A dance performance developed especially for the exhibition brings this combination of gesture, movement and action to life in the rooms of the Kunsthalle.

The event is sponsored by Sparkasse Bielefeld.
